2015 Wimbledon - Dustin Brown beats Rafael Nadal Thursday June 02,2015

 
Two-time champion Rafael Nadal(Spain) is making another early exit from Wimbledon, after losing in the second round to a 102nd-ranked qualifier who played the match of his life.

Rafael Nadal, a 14-time grand slam champion who won Wimbledon in 2008 and 2010, was dumped out by German qualifier Dustin Brown in the second round, the Spaniard's 4th reverse to a player ranked 100th or lower at the All England Club since 2011

Thursday's loss followed his 2012 second round exit to world 100 Lukas Rosol, a first round beating by the 135-ranked Steve Darcis in 2013 and last year's fourth round defeat to Nick Kyrgios, who was at 144.
